Ok, so I have lost count how many times I have made this almond cake. Either in the round form, rectangular or individual. Either with berries, stone fruit or nuts. It’s that versatile. And looks extra special, kind of cafe quality/store bought. I get asked all the time for the recipe. So I have shared […]

I completed my challenge – ok, this last month and issue took a little longer than usual. Yes, Better Homes and Garden magazine has 13 issues in a year. This issue had a great bread feature and I wanted to have a go at the lavash bread. The recipe looked easy enough. And it was. […]

A reminder here why I am doing this, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th , 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th challenges if you are interested. This caught my eye because I could use some of the rosemary from our herb garden. And here is my version which I made it to take to my friend’s house to share over lunch. This edition of the Better Homes […]

A reminder here why I am doing this, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th , 8th and 9th challenges if you are interested. This font and colour combo caught my eye. My hubby’s friend had a little boy so I decided to make a ‘hello welcome little one’ card. Some burgundy stitching and teal ribbon. Ok the white baby ribbon is upside down but […]

A reminder here why I am doing this, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th challenges if you are interested. What a wonderful opportunity to make there savoury muffins… for an impromptu school friends catch up mid week. I included tasty cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives and basil in my variation – they were yummy. Love use the baking paper squares […]

It wasn’t hard to catch up with my SIC BHG challenge. A reminder here why I am doing this, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th challenges if you are interested. This palette or rather a pastel version… reminded me of this cute fabric I had. I also wanted to use my hexagon die cut [in 3 […]

Yes, I am guilty I have lagged behind my self imposed challenge however am revved up to catch up and get going again. A reminder here why I am doing this, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th challenges if you are interested. I love bunting so when I saw this… I was eager to get […]

I’d made a handful of gingerbread houses a few years back but remembered it as hard stressful work. Nice results but rolling the dough was tiring and stressful because you weren’t sure if your construction efforts were going to ‘hold’. Well when I saw these on Pinterest and I was determined to give them a […]

Not a crafty post today but just wanted to share these bread rolls I made two weeks ago. Well not rolls really but more like mushrooms I think. I made these in dariole moulds and love the shape that results. Sprinkled with rosemary and cracked salt.

My challenge continues and am happy I am still ‘into’ it. You can check out 1st and 2nd months creations. Well a sub challenge this month – nothing sweet [cause that would be easy for me – I much prefer baking]. It was kinda of easy to pick too because I have been wanting to […]
